A thoroughly enjoyable series

by zutron34

Rating: N/A

I'm not going to lament over its harem based nature, views on women or anything like that because it's a "power fantasy" novel and that's really the main reason many would read something like this. If you have issues with anything like that then don't read this because it's gonna be constantly throwing that in your face non-stop.

So the start for this series is really strong compared to other similar works. A problem I find with others such as Martial World or Martial God Asura is that your kind of just thrown a generic main character with zero backstory initially and then they suddenly get thrown a huge amount of different powers all at the same time and it gets kind of difficult to keep track of it all which puts me off. ATG handles this a little better by keeping it relatively simple and feeding you it a little bit at a time and spacing out his aquisition of powers more. Don't get me wrong, he still gets a bunch of powers very quickly but it's done in a slightly more digestable way in my opinion.

Some SPOILERS from here on;

I was thoroughly enjoying the series up until a certain arc when he meets his step-brother and parents. If you're reading this series primarily for the harem based aspect then a certain elf girl is introduced here and while it never pretends that she will in anyway join the MC's harem and makes that very clear right from the get go, it still urks me because she's basically the only "attractive" female character that is with someone else other than MC. If she wasn't given much attention then it probably wouldn't be an issue.

However...they spend a disproportionate amount of time focusing on her and your step-brother (who's just a pathetic, soft hearted, boring vanilla guy) and it really made it hard to get through this part, not to mention the issues that are prevalent through what I'd call the main big 1st arc of the entire series are cranked up to 11 here with really long winded repetitive speeches lasting many chapters.

There's some great moments during this time too but it was kind of a struggle...but take heart that after this everything gets so much better and up until the current latest translated chapter as of me writing this (so chapter 1598) it's just been getting more and more awesome. The world gets more interesting, the long dragged out speeches are cut down, the situations the MC ends up in are all great and the women too make you forget all about elf girl because the scale gets that much grander.

In particular the current situation going on is probably the most interesting yet and it's painful having to wait every day just to read one more chapter.

Suffice to say the scale of the world and powers are huge and even though I usually hate timeskips, the way they handle the perception of time in the series actually makes me not care in the slightest. I'd say the only thing I find lacking is more descriptive sex scenes which for the most part range from heavy implications to only very vague details on what actually occured. I assume this is to keep its content rating down but I think it would be better for it if there was a little more spice in the mix.

I'm hoping that the series will continue on for several more thousand chapters at the very least and thankfully it does seem like certain things have been setup and shown that lead me to think this will be the case.

I really wanted to like this story

by WhatBest

Rating: N/A

I really wanted to like this story. I read up to 380 and have to say goodbye. It has some really well thought out ideas, but the MC is just a hypocrite. He goes off telling girls they are #1 when that is all a lie. The fights were fun at first, but they are just the same thing just with louder bangs. Everyone is always astonished at everything. The over powered plot armors don’t make it fun anymore. I do suggest you give the story a try. Just wasn’t my cup of tea.

ATG: Pros and Cons

by CaptainNuja
9 years ago

Rating: N/A

Pros:
-Beginning starts out interesting and strong
-MC is likable in the beginning and kicks ass
-MC is smart and cunning
-a lot of humor
-good action early on
-plot is interesting
-world building is quite nice
-lots of diversity between powers, it leaves a lot to the imagination
-female characters are somewhat independent and not the usual damsel in distress

cons:
-MC becomes really unlikable later on
-Harem gets annoying and romance is terribly written
-Action scene becomes repetitve and they all sound/look alike
-Enemies are all dull and repetitve, becoming brainless and are all alike
-Yun Che's plot armor are above and beyond ridiculous levels (higher than linley's from CD)
-Random power ups for no reason
-humor starts to dull when author tries to incorporate "fan service/ ecchi moments" into story
-all characters, except MC, are 1 dimensional and poorly written
-BAD writting overall
-MC's arrogance becomes hypocritical and unreasonable
-MC is a rapist no matter what anyone says (and a molester)

Overall, I started out loving ATG, read 100 chapters all the way through in one night (when the translations were only at ch. 100) and enjoyed it. Nearing the late 200 chapters though, I started noticing a lot of repetition with EVERYTHING and inconsistiencies with the MC's personality, It feels as if the author let the success get to his head and started to write drivel. after the late 300's I thoroughly hated the MC's personality. It was hypocritical, demeaning, unreasonable, arrogant, and dull. He became the average xian xia protagonist. I was really disappointed because I really loved the novel's beginning. (also he rapes a girl who "supposedly" actually wanted it. I don't care if she wanted it, if she says no, then it means no. You don't force it on a person who CAN'T EVEN MOVE TO RESIST. Anyone saying it is not rape is delusional. Is it acceptable in the context of the story? Possibly. But rape is still rape. I felt morally disgusted with MC after that part and it only went downhill from there). You can choose to read this novel but really, there are better choices for reincarnation novels. Transcending the Nine Heavens and Sovereign of the Three Realms are two novels that have reincarnation and the author's writting style is especially eloquent. The plots are interesting and REMAIN interesting unlike ATG. Characters are fleshed out more and repetitiveness is less common.

Polished and refined

by spammerhamster

Rating: 9.0 / 10.0

This novel is outstanding. Not only will it suck you into the world immediately within the first few chapters, the action actually starts really soon. And there is a reason for all the fights.

The MC is reincarnated, but unlike Doulou Dalu, there is a reason for this reincarnation and it is actually important for the plot. (but that part is not translated yet, it's somewhere near chapter 280)

I think this novel is refined because the details are so important. Something which the MC gets early in the story will be useful way, way, way back in the story

dragon flesh . I was really surprised when it was used again, since I've totally forgotten about it.

Also, this is certainly an 18+ novel. A lot of gore and adult sequences.

Rating: 10.0 / 10.0

most of the time in japanese novel you get A DENSE, inconsistent, unaware or dont know what to do, cowardly ,spineless, lucky, nice, pathetic, loser , pure innocent, misunderstanding ecchi situations mc which i really sicked of them. by far yun che is different kind. a rare kind. not only have an awesome dialouge interaction with the romance at the girls.it put in the right way. not your average wack or lame lines like you are beautiful or some lame cliche but instead he try undertsand the girls until to point from the girls start stupified by his unsual character turning it into attraction at him. my god it is marvelous. his revenge is not about just killing people but prefer make your life absolutely meaningless. buwahahahahaaha. his sense of moralty. it just awesome it is like if you treat him nice. he will treat you nicer tenfold but if you treat him bad. he will suffer you hundredfold. he is like the combination of lelouch + black jack + award oscar actor. also he has undying spirit which is umeasureable willpower. he treat the girls with great affection each one of them even the monster loli by far have better relationship than chufeng with eggy. one of my favourites

might continue, but will skip a lot of words

by foobar

The world building is Wuxia standard. But the story was really complicated, with multiple strands happening everywhere.
But, there are a few issues:
A. I have a problem with - not sex - but the treatment of women, but ... to avoid spoilers ... the violation of trust.
B. And then, I think 550 odd chapters in, the story might have got too tangled, and the author probably has lost a few strands...
C. The pattern is each arc is very similar. This is of course not a problem specific to this work - most long running shounen manga also have this structure, but let us not encounter an ice-frigid queen and be able to guess that by the end of the arc, by the end of the arc he would be a great benefactor to her, and she would be falling for him.
Will keep dipping in, but will skip a lot of it.

EDIT: 940 chapters
Decided to stop. I like to binge read, so I can see some plot threads that the author left hanging for a long time, and then did a patchwork closure on. I think the author has put in so many girls and plot twists, that he has trouble tying up loose ends.

I fall in love with this novel

by bakaleaf

Rating: 9.9 / 10.0

Like always I say nothing is perfect so I never give a score of 10 but...

WARNING HUGE SPOILER READ IT AND FALL IN LOVE!

Xiao Yulong’s complexion had already become as pale as paper and the pain and fear in both his eyes had magnified by more than ten. Xiao Che again raised the knife and cruelly laughed: “Die? No, don’t you worry, I won’t let you die…. Why would I be willing! To let you die that quickly and painlessly!

“With this cut, I want your eyes to never see again!!!”

Chi chi!!

The two rapid stabs swiftly penetrated Xiao Yulong’s pair of eyes, and turned his two wide eyeballs directly into a kind of black and white paste.

“WAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!!”

This miserable shriek that sounded like it had come from the depths of hell was extremely tragic, so much that it would make the bodies of those who had heard it tremble, and the scalp on their heads, numb. Yet Xiao Che’s entire face actually smiled with glee, as if hearing music from the heavens. He pulled the dagger out, narrowed his eyes, and spoke with a faint smile: “Tut tut, what a sonorous cry. Enjoy your voice now while you still can, because afterwards…. you may no longer send out such a pleasant sound again.”

Rip!!

“With this cut, I want you to never speak with your mouth in this lifetime!!!”

The dagger mercilessly pierced into the center of Xiao Yulong’s mouth. As it was pulled out, a chunk of bloody red tongue and several tens of teeth flew out together.

“With this cut, I want you to never hear with your ears in this lifetime!

Chi!!!

The dagger flashed forward as the color of bright blood fluttered about. Xiao Yulong’s ears flew off his person and sprinkled blood as they fell onto the icy cold floor .

“With this cut, I want you to…. die without descendants!! You’re the sort of despicable person who’s unworthy of having such a future!!”

The bloody dagger dyed in red was raised, slanted downwards, and ruthlessly pierced through Xiao Yulong’s groin area….

“EEEEAAAAAH……..”

Xiao Yulong’s body became rigidly stiff, and even his extremely hoarse cry also slowly quieted down….

Ahhh that was my ideal revenge one that does not kill the person but mark him with eternal suffering!

The MC is great not your average OP mc I mean not yet maybe..
The girls? Thumbs up! there back ground there character are one of a kind!
Looking forward to it wanna read more I mean more!

A fantastically ruthless protagonist.

by Jandalman
10 years ago

Rating: 1.0 / 10.0

EDIT: This series has unfortunately become incredibly boring. Each arc is repetitive and very long-winded, and I mean almost as bad as Bleach levels of stretching and repeating plot lines. Every villain is the same gloating, sadistic douchebag who wants to torture people and rape women (usually targeting someone from the MC's harem for extra douche points). And the MC ain't much better. As of the current raws released by the author everything is more or less stagnant. Just arc after arc of tournament battles and dimension travelling from the MC. In-story years passing with the MC stuck in another world while all the people whose lives he has impacted struggle and suffer in the wake of his over the top activities.

I feel bad for even liking this novel as all that investment of time and interest has been getting lesser and lesser payoffs until now I don't even expect anything good from this story anymore.

My first taste of a Chinese web novel and I have to say I'm very impressed.
At first I feared the MC was going to be yet another naive, pushover character like the majority of Japanese LN "heroes" but boy oh boy was I proven wrong! The first real impact I had from the MC is the scene described by bakaleaf in the review below me; it has to be THE most satisfying personal justice I have ever seen a protagonist commit upon the villain. In any Japanese LN the bastard would have gotten away scott free and spent the rest of the story gloating over the MC as the latter is powerless to do anything. But not with Ni Tian Xie Shen, oh no my friends, in THIS novel the MC does exactly what I wish most other weaksauce MCs would do in similar events. Revenge is best served bloody, up close and personal as well as leaving your deserved victim alive long enough to suffer physically AND mentally.

I am eagerly looking forward to the next scumbag that gets brutalized for his or her sins by Yun Che.

If someone treats the MC with genuine kindness, he'll return in tenfold. If you mistreat him, he'll return the favor a thousandfold.

Nice torture scene

Use Ctrl-F and copy-paste the sentence from below and read it until the chapter ends xD

Good and the reincarnation actually MATTERS

by thesshadowbow5678

Rating: N/A

I'm up to the current chapter got to say I am very satisfied with the it Mc is easily one of my favorite from chinese novels that I've read Mc is good Kinda Good guy type character but knows he is very flawed with the bad things he has does and doesn't try to justify the bad things he has done as good. The story good I'm really excited about where it's leading there are flaws here and there like some of the female cast don't really have personality. Volume 4 I'am really wanting to the encounter but he author keeps putting it off :[ .

Forgot to mention and sine no one else has mentioned it the reincarnation or transported to another world in my opinion is done well than most his past has impact besides just some skills ex, Douluo Dalu besides the fact that he has strong loyalty to tang clan and because curiosity and stole some thing and made it he committed suicide afterwards because of guilt we never find out why he has strong loyalty or anything of the sort i only read up to 76 but it didn't look like the his past life ws nothing more worth mentioning, CSG another besides cultivation technique same thing as DD. Instead you get to find out about his past and what happened actually matters it actually matters.
